Two often tried projects have been sent recently and are of some note. First off, Dave Graham has dispatched the sit start to Boogalagga in Chironico, Switzerland. This adds several difficult moves into an amazing V13 stand start. Boogalagga is a stiking arete and a classic problem in its own right. I would imagine Dave [...]

So back to last weekend. The last few days in Joe’s were awesome. I climbed a bunch of really amazing “moderates” that I hadn’t done before like No Substance V8, Save Yourself V8, The Two finger Variation V9 and Spam V6. I also did a new V9 of Isaac Caldiero’s called Playmate of the Year. [...]

Last weekend, on our last day, I made a one day ascent of a new problem put up by Isaac Calderio called Big Joe Left. Isaac suggested V12 and after climbing Center Route the other day I concur. www.momentumvm.com has the footage. Check it out.

Saturday the weather was terrible everywhere and I found myself at Morrison with Rylan Marshall. Conditions were really nice and I warmed up quickly. I had climbed Center Route (which according to John Sherman is one of the standards for V10, along with Full Service) a few years ago, so I had no real objectives. [...]

Today Jason Pinto and I headed into Eldorado Canyon. We made our way to the back of the Canyon and marched up the Eldorado Canyon Trail. Eldo is a big place, and we weren’t sure exactly where to go. Thank goodness there was a new sign to point the way to our beloved rocks. Past [...]

Last Friday I escaped Colorado on a solo mission to Joe’s Valley. I was interested in seeing some of the new problems that had been put up recently and perhaps climb some of the old classics. I planned on being there for 5 days with the intention of climbing every day. I arrived late in [...]

Sunday I went to the Millenium Boulder with a great crew. The Millenium Boulder is a giant erratic (if anyone knows the actual geologic history of this boulder please share) that lies about a mile or so north of The Black Hole and Morrison, and it stands in great contrast to that scruffy cliffband. This [...]
